Yes, Rick, the metrics are problematic. And universities are not known for their innovative admissions High Tech High does some cool stuff with project-based learning and their graduates all 1). graduate number one and 2). all go to college afterwards - all of them!

Very inspirational.
What are your thoughts on how to incorporate metrics into social learning?
Providing web 2.0 tools to facilitate the next generation of learning seems to be the easy part (they're readily available). Redefining how a degree is defined and earned would be the harder part, and I love the analogy of attaching a jet engine to a horse-drawn buggy.
